REVIEW OF THE BOOK by B. Rabotic
THE FIRST 'ALL-IN' GUIDEBOOK TO SERBIA IN ENGLISH

The book is authored by Laurence Mitchell and published as his first contribution to the Bradt guides. People in the know are aware of how difficult and complicated Serbia is, or what might be the problems the author had to solve while collecting data and checking out the situation on the spot. It is for this that the book should be additionally and particularly appreciated...

 ...and the movies you'll like (VHS/DVD)
Do not miss these two movies that give insight into the true nature and effects of the civil war in former Yugoslavia (1992-1995):
.
Savior by P. Antonijevic
(Dennis Quaid, Nastassja Kinski, Natasa Ninkovic)
"I'm not sure that it's appropriate to call a movie like this wonderful as it delves into such dark themes and events, but it is a truly honest and admirable movie..."
Pretty Village, Pretty Flame by S. Dragojevic
"This is one of the greatest anti-war movies I have ever seen."
.
Tito and Me by G. Markovic
"Full of kind-hearted humor, abounding in hilarious episodes, this film is touching and very enjoyable! Its familiar satirical portrayal of the ridiculousness of obsessions associated with the Communist regime..."
Underground
by E. Kusturica
"Absolute masterpiece: directing, performances, music. This is a movie that you should not miss."
Time of the Gypsies by E. Kusturica
"The acting is great, the music superb and the art direction grotesque and masterful. It is a fairy tale, an ethnography, a comic caper and a work of neo-realism. It succeeds at each level..."
The Wounds by S. Dragojevic
"One of the best movies I've ever seen: hardcore, real life, streetz, drugz & thugz."
 
 Why not learn Serbian?

Teach Yourself Serbian Complete Course
by David Norris and Vladislava Ribnikar
"As in most Teach Yourself-courses the grammar explanations have been written to suit the total beginner. In some courses that is not enough for the serious student but in this case the explanations will please everyone... If you've read my other reviews of courses you will know that I consider most Teach Yourself courses too short. Teach Yourself Serbian is one of the exceptions, it is long enough to provide space for needed explanations and for a useful vocabulary that will take you far".
